As there was a considerable period without an emperor in the Pheleseta Empire, the nobles had ample time to build their own so-called ‘noble culture and sensibilities’ with sophistication. The nobles were elegant, never directly involved yet excelled in performing indirectly lethal deeds. They manipulated the common people with a single finger, and those manipulated were accustomed to it.
Therefore, no one could have imagined that Rustica Genesis would personally barge into the Trade Bureau deputy chief’s office that morning and shatter Jocelyn Moiquetpel’s noble common sense on the spot. Regardless, it was decidedly ungentlemanly and, in the East, unimaginable behavior.
Jocelyn, who had been trying to send people to persuade Rhu all day long, looked at Rhu with a frustrated face.
“If you have something to say, say it quickly and let’s be done with it. Don’t bother sending people during busy times. If there’s a complaint, speak directly to His Excellency the Emperor.”
Truly, she did not speak in an elegant manner, nor did she talk indirectly like the nobles.
“If you are afraid to give direct advice to His Excellency or do not have the authority, I will specially deliver it on this occasion instead.”
In front of the Moiquetpel Grand Ducal family, Rhu’s eyes sparkled, promising to deliver the message ‘specially’ this time. Despite boasting of having experienced everything in life, Jocelyn, who was originally from the Grand Ducal family, felt a chill and fear in her eyes. Those eyes had seen the bloodied eyes of someone who had touched blood.
Rhu clenched her fist.
Jocelyn had a dreadful premonition that if she answered wrong, the desk might immediately shatter.
[Star Icon]Between reporting countless trivial matters to the Emperor today, Court White Simon Cainberg had to report each insignificant detail one by one.
“Jocelyn Moiquetpel, Deputy Chief of the Trade Bureau, tried to capture Lady Flauche today.”
It was wrong for Court White to directly report on what was happening around Lady Flauche, the Viscountess from the Callata Empire. However, the Emperor was showing a great deal of interest in her, and at the same time, he was throwing her into the midst of important matters in the empire. To maintain smooth governance, Court White had to faithfully report even the smallest details today.
The gray eyes, which had grown lazily bored, finally looked at Simon.
“For what reason?”
“To show who has a firm grip on the Trade Bureau.”
Hayden, who had been tilting his head, straightened it.
“So?”
The Emperor did not show much anger or disturbance.
“Viscountess Flauche completely ignored the people sent by the deputy chief and went straight into the deputy chief’s office with a clean face.”
“Hahaha.”
Hayden chuckled dryly, finishing reviewing the documents and finally signing them before moving on to the next agenda. Court White quickly grabbed the precious document that had been signed. Reporting about Lady Flauche seemed to have a positive effect once again.
“It seems like Countess Youngae spoke unilaterally.”
“The deputy chief is a typical Eastern noble.”
Being an Eastern noble who made others suffer and tried not to dirty her hands, Countess Youngae would have been shocked to see Rhu, who sent away the people she had sent and came in herself. From the deputy chief’s perspective, it was very rude and ignorant behavior.
“Countess Youngae is still coming out fine and continues to process the accessories at the current port. The speed of selling them is extremely fast. A ship full of accessories set sail for the first time at 11 a.m. today.”
“Did Youngae have her meal?”
“Yes. She said the meal was delicious. Rumors about the deputy chief being scolded by Countess Youngae have already spread rapidly in the Trade Bureau.”
“It must have been a pleasant topic during lunchtime.”
The responding voice sounded very dull.
Throughout the boring luncheon meeting, he had to deal with incompetent bureaucrats several times and still had to figure out how to catch the nobles who wanted to keep the Emperor as a symbolic figure. There was no room for enjoyable topics in such a situation.
“Again?”
Hayden quickly asked as he dealt with the work. His hands had gained tremendous speed compared to when Simon came to report.
“What else is there?”
“Cabinet Noir has completely wrapped up the work. There will be no more revelations regarding this matter.”
When they mentioned ‘this matter,’ the gazes of Simon and Hayden simultaneously turned to the newspapers piled up in one corner of the office.
Today’s newspaper was also noisy, claiming that new facts about the son of Duke Alanka being murdered had been revealed.
One by one, the lovers of Elena Justner, the dancer who was murdered along with the son, climbed onto the witness stand. On one side, cautiously, the third son of Duke Alanka, Cedric Lamber, took the stand. In short, it was a scene of chaos.
“Well, you better not be sure when and which mouth will open.”
“That mouth won’t open.”
Simon Cainberg confidently asserted.
[Star Icon]Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
